This feeling has been accelerating for me. I get the sense that state actors are ramping up their use of LLM powered bots. Hacker news is a great place still, but Reddit has become a void except for some of the more niche subs. I also see more and more AI images being passed off as normal content. Soon video will be the same. Paid influencers were bad enough it at least the content creators were humans with their own minds and creativity. Very rapidly there will be nothing human left on the internet and I’ll have to go back to the fleshy smelly real world.

I think the Internet is going through an adolescent stage and genAI disinformation will help us get through it faster.

Just as a fool who persists in his folly eventually becomes wise, I expect more people will soon learn to be more judicious about the source of their information.

Unfortunately, it will likely require some catastrophic event to catalyze a significant change.
